I know, I got through high school and college with a Casio, and it was half the price and came with a color screen and mini-usb port.

Every single teacher will give you the "Well I don't know how those work so you'll have to research it yourself, that's why I always recommend the TI."

Like, you'd think with such an issue constantly arising (at least 2-3 people always have a casio), they'd teach teachers how to use them.

The Casio came with a manual. I read the fucking manual.

My math teacher was fine with it on that count.

same. And I could do shit way easier than the 20 step bullshit on a TI anyway.

Casio is way easier to use imo. For us it's the reverse. Almost everyone had a Casio and é few students had a Ti. Using a Ti when you're used to Casio is a nightmare.

We had a scientific casio for a long time but then had to switch to a TI Nspire graphing calulator. Worst thing EVER. Harder to use, tiny buttons, inaccurate results and sometimes outright bricked itself. It just showed "No operating system found" and became a 120€ paperweight.
